Region 15 History
Region 15 as we know it today held its first meeting on April 22, 1939. As a result of this first meeting, the American Iris Society Board of Directors joined Southern California and Arizona into one region. With varied climates, our region has tremendous potential for hybridizers and commercial growers as well as those who simply enjoy growing irises.

Region 15

Region 15 currently has 11 affiliates in Southern California and Arizona. The Region and its affiliates provide education and support to local communities through programs on the care of irises, public shows and judges training sessions. Region 15 conducts Annual Spring and Fall Treks that provide a variety of programs and judges training sessions that are open to the general public. The Spring Trek includes tours of the gardens of club members to view the newer irises during bloom season. For more information regarding the Treks see the links on the left.
